I have suddenly found a significant number of those error messages on the Sitecore log of my CD server; my understanding is that this particular index does/should not exist in production, which is why those errors do not appear in my Dev an CM environments.

Question

How do I tell Sitecore to stop trying to rebuild a specific index in production only?

  • Have you made any configuration changes lately? This type of thing (where an index was previously excluded and suddenly exists) is often because a patch config was added that was intended to patch a setting on this index but ended up adding it (because it was excluded somewhere else).

  • Not that I'm aware of. I would simply like to know how to control which indexes are rebuilt and in which envirornment.

    They are controlled by the configuration files in App_Config and how they are updated/rebuilt is controlled by the indexing strategies: doc.sitecore.com/developers/91/…. I would recommend having a look at /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx for that environment and seeing how they are configured currently.

  • The link you posted helped me to find the root cause of the problem - indeed, the configuration element that removed sitec_suggested_test_index from web was missing; re-introducing it fixed the problem. If you post your comment as an answer, I will be glad to accept it.

The indexing strategies are controlled by the configuration files in App_Config and how they are updated/rebuilt is controlled by the indexing strategies:
